Former Penn State Def Coord. charged with Sex Abuse, PSU AD charged with Perjury

Its hard to not want any/all parties involved in the cover-up/under-reporting prosecuted let alone fired.

except I have a feeling the damn statute of limitations is going to play a big part in this... They have the most evidence/witnesses for the 2002 incident, right? the more recent stuff are just allegations against Sandusky, right? so the AD + others may not have broken any laws recently enough? I think that's what I read somewhere yesterday

Yeah, prolly the case. Disgusting story.

The lingering question in my mind is what about McQueary. He sees this horrific act but did not stop it. Not exactly a "heroic" act, as one article suggests. He turns in the offender, which was the right thing to do, but sees no action taken. He continues to climb the coaching ladder at PSU, AND continues to see someone he knows to be a pedophile using PSU facilities to access children, and isn't ringing the alarm bells. Was he promoted in exchange for his silence? It looks that way. He may have been horrified by what he saw, but I can't get away from the appearance that he sold his silence to promote his own career.

They have been charged with perjury. That happened during the grand jury investigation. SOL would not bar prosecution for that offense/those offenses.

This is one of the biggest landmines there is. Most college football scandal stuff doesn't stick around in the mainstream news long because there are more people that don't care enough past if the local team is doing well or not. But involve sexual abuse against kids? You're talking cover of Time and Newsweek in addition to SI.

Doesn't matter how the criminal stuff concludes, the ****storm on this is just getting started and once the mainstream media can digest it and spin it .... look out.

exactly. Just crazy as hell that you would see something like that and just report it and then seemingly forget about it.

This will go beyond Time Magazine. There's going to be a Lifetime Television movie at some point.

Yup, perfectly stated.

MM is a huge goat in this case, just huge.
